Just Another Day in Paradise!

Well these days I'm just chugging along trying to be a mom to my two sweet beauties...and I'll admit some days are more gratifying than others, but nevertheless I am happy to be where I am in my life. 

I am still running 3-4 days a week trying to train for my 10k coming up. It's been really fun for me to have a goal to work towards, and running really is a therapy for me. I love the feeling when I finally hit my stride! It's making the early wake-up-call a little more bearable! I'm still probably the slowest runner out there but  I am loving it all the same. 

My garden is another amazing experience in my life! I've harvested at least 21 zucchini and 3 green peppers! 

And it rained like crazy last week so I finally did some much needed weeding while the ground was still wet. Everything is growing! It just makes me love my backyard even more :)

We went to the pool this week, we had a blast! The kids are really getting in to swimming and they love to jump off the sides and blow bubbles on the water...and they really love the slides when I can take them. Here's a couple gems from our swim day-I love thus one haha, Elsie's face is priceless!

Me and my sweet girl taking a selfie :)

And I didn't get any pictures but thanks to Amy for coming and keeping us company at the end! 

Other things you'll find us doing is reading--I swear storytime just keeps getting longer!

And we eat lots of Popsicles. This day was rainy so we had a Popsicle picnic. 

Life is good for the Hughes family! Living up summer and loving it!...for the most part, let's be honest, we could do without the box elder bugs and the tantrums. ;)
